Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corp. recently earned two Master of Quality awards from Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA). Eaton was recognized for outstanding performance in 2009 for the company’s clutch and transmission operations in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The San Luis Potosi facility manufactures and supplies Eaton’s lineup of medium- and heavy-duty clutches and manual and automated transmissions for all Class 6, 7 and 8 DTNA vehicles.

“Daimler Trucks North America is widely recognized as one of the world’s foremost truck manufacturers,” said Tim Sinden, president of Eaton Truck Division North America. “So it is very much an honor to have them acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our transmission and clutch teams. This award also reconfirms Eaton’s position as one of the industry’s top tier-one suppliers.”

In notifying Eaton of the awards, Carsten Kirchholtes, general manager of procurement for DTNA, and Paul Romanaggi, general manager of quality and supplier management for DTNA, noted, “Everyone’s efforts within your company toward meeting our demanding requirements and expectations are greatly appreciated by everyone at Daimler Trucks North America, as well as by our dealers and end-customers.”
